### 2.8. SNMPv2 Context

A SNMPv2 context is a collection of managed object resources accessible by a SNMPv2 entity. The object resources identified by a context are either local or remote.

A SNMPv2 context referring to local object resources is identified as a MIB view. In this case, a SNMPv2 entity uses local mechanisms to access the management information identified by the SNMPv2 context.

A remote SNMPv2 context referring to remote object resources is identified as a proxy relationship. In this case, a SNMPv2 entity acts as a proxy agent to access the management information identified by the SNMPv2 context.
